Wedding Hairstyles For Medium Length Hair

Wedding Hairstyles For Medium Length Hair

A woman's hair is often referred to as her "crowning glory". On
no day will this be more true than your wedding day. If you have medium
length hair, you will find that there are many hairstyles available to
you. It is just a matter of picking the right one.

There are
several things to consider when deciding on your wedding hairstyle. The
first is the formality of your wedding. Just as a stiff updo might look
out of place at a backyard barbeque, wearing your hair loose might seem
underdone at a cathedral ceremony. It is important to match your
hairstyle to both the formality of your bridal gown and your wedding
location.

Another thing to keep in mind will be weather
conditions. If your hair wilts in the heat, forgo the big loose curls
that will fall flat before you even finish exchanging your vows. You may
also find that on a hot day, it will be cooler to have your hair up off
of your neck. Getting married on a windswept beach? Then pull the front
of your hair back to keep it from blowing in your face.

The
length of your hair will be another determining factor. Brides with
medium length hair are lucky, because they can choose almost any style.
It is long enough to pull up, yet short enough that it won't be unruly
or messy looking when worn down.

One of the most popular wedding
hairstyles for brides with medium length hair is the half up look. In
this hairdo, the stylist will pull the front of the bride's hair back,
and leave the rest flowing down. This look tends to work well for any
formality of wedding. Having the hair shaped into a definitive style
makes it polished enough for a more formal wedding, but having some of
the hair left soft and flowing makes the half up style feel feminine and
un-stuffy, as well. It is the best of both worlds.

One advantage
of the half up style over leaving all of your hair down is that it makes
it easy to anchor the bridal jewelry that you have chosen for your
hair. You can wear a twinkling crystal tiara or headband for the most
dressy look. If you prefer vintage styles, then a rhinestone comb would
be perfect tucked into the side of your hair. You can also wear a comb
on the top of your head with feminine details such as porcelain flowers
for a romantic effect. Just be certain that the bridal jewelry you
choose for your hair coordinates with the rest of your wedding jewelry.

Brides
with medium length hair can certainly wear almost any type of updo for
their wedding. An updo is often considered to be very formal, but it
doesn't have to be. It can be simple and chic, like a classic chignon.
It can also be more relaxed, such as a messy bun with little loose
tendrils. There are a couple of good reasons to think about wearing your
hair all up. One is that your hair will be under control and out of
your face for the entire wedding. The other one is that wearing your
hair up allows you to showcase a beautiful bridal necklace.

Whichever
way you choose to wear your hair for your wedding, be certain to have a
trial run. This will give you the chance to see how you like the style
with your wedding gown. When your hair looks perfect, you know that you
will feel beautiful on your wedding day.
